Chaos is Trump's business card. But the reality bites back | Lloyd Green

IN Almost 100 days in the job Donald Trump Liz Truss and a legendary lettuce survived. That is a fact, no performance. Like the unfortunate British Prime Minister, the 47th President flows a trace of wrecks. Chaos is his business card. When, when and how the slaughter ends, someone is a guess.

The United States at the same time rewarded the economic war against its allies and China. Customs increase. It is as if Trump had forgotten the words “Smoot-Hwley” and “Great Depression”. The President risks a higher inflation and a recession for an idealized yesterday that it was never entirely. Back on earth, the markets signal potential capital flight and stagflation.

In the meantime, the possibility that China penetrated into Taiwan has become overspeculated. The United States loses Asia. In his first term, Trump's team comprised experienced China Hawks. They seized the size of the threat that Beijing issued the USA. They also understood that resistance had to build up steadily and strategically. No longer.

Instead, Peter Navarro, who was convicted of contempt for the congress, helps his boss the US trade policy. Together they damage America's global view. In the meantime, Scott Bessent, the finance minister, like a nine-digit viewer instead of the hedge fund god, which he was once. Marco Rubio, Trump's State Secretary, looks like a prisoner in a hostage video.

Reality bites. The US dollar, while the interest rates are increasing, drops a phenomenon that is generally associated with the economies of the world of development, not with the home of Wall Street and Silicon Valley. Trump brings his own systemic risk.

The stock exchange returned when he attacked the independence of the Federal Reserve and demanded the fall of his chairman Jerome Powell. Trump brought him a “big loser” and as a “MR Too Pat”. On the way, Trump endangers the reserve currency status of the US dollar. Russia and China couldn't have wished a better friend.

Trump also threatens Canada, Denmark and Greenland with invasion or annexation.

Counter reaction from the entire border is real. “There is no back,” admits the liberal leader Mark Carney. “President Trump tries to fundamentally restructure the international trading system and vomits the global economy.” Less Canadians travel south. “Ellbow Up”, a hockey metaphor, turns into a rally scream.

Trump's most recent term has already been followed. Almost every day, the administration takes a slanter in the American institutions and the constitution. When Trump only stayed in his corner with Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito when he was over a planned mass deportation, he went too far. In contrast, the Trump Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett knew better.

Likewise, when Trump J. Harvie Wilkinson-Ein loses a referee and convinced conservative about “proper process” disorders, America is in an unknown area. “This should not only be shocking for judges, but also for the intuitive feeling of freedom that the Americans are far away from court buildings that are still nice,” wrote Wilkinson.

During the 2016 campaign, Paul Lepage, then governor of Maine, believed that Trump may show an “authoritarian power”. Joe Sitt, an important player in New York Real Estate and an early Trump supporter, agreed: “We have no president. We have a king.”

Nine years later, Trump and his henchmen have nothing to do. The president speaks of the deportation of US citizens and beat important research universities. Much of its base nods eagerly.

Trump's current cabinet and the staff of the White House are more sycopheral than in his first term. Fewer guardrails inhibit it. Generals John Kelly and HR McMaster no longer live in the west wing. Rather, acolyths, novitates and lackeys surround him.

Loyalty over everything.

Peter Hegseth, the current Minister of Defense, is Exponate A. He sold Hillary Clinton 2016 for her e -mail. “Every security professional, the military, government or other would be released on site … and pursued criminally because he is so ruthless with such information,” he told Fox News.

Nine years later, Hegseth uses war plans with friends and family about less than safe channels and is annoyed by the resulting exam. Trump offers his confirmation: “He does a great job.” Or not. John Ullyot, who resigned as a spokesman for the Ministry of Defense after his service, described the situation in the Pentagon as “adult meltdown”.

“It was a month of the entire chaos in the Pentagon,” said Ullyot. “From Leck's sensitive operating plans to mass distortions, the dysfunction is now a great distraction for the president – who earns better from his leadership.”

Years ago Steve Bannon, Trump One-Time Campaign Guru and Pardon recipient thought of the author Jeremy Peters that Trump “would be one of the two or three worst presidents of all time”.

“It will be James Buchanan, Donald Trump and Millard Fillmore,” Bannon is quoted in relation to two presidents of the 1850s who could not stop the slide for the civil war.

Senator Lisa Murkowski from Alaska recently confessed to being afraid of Trump. “We are all afraid,” she said.

“It's quite a statement. But we are at a time and a place where I was certainly not here yet. And I will tell you that I am often very concerned about using my voice because retribution is real. And that's not correct.”

On July 4, 2026, the United States will mark its 250th birthday. Until then, Trump has been in office for almost 18 months. Imagine how much more he will have achieved. And destroyed.
